GSX - The Buick Super Car9348004

I will discuss the Allentown Buick dealership, it was an incredibly special car, with it's 455 CID Buick big block, that was pumping out a fantastic 510 FTLB of torque, which in addition, held the record for the best torque in the American car until 1992, in the event the Dodge Viper stole it's glory, however the Viper is often a special car, it is not as when we could all own a Viper, but we might all own a Buick GSX, you might imagine Buick "That's a grandma car" but would certainly be wrong, oh so wrong. Many a races were lost for this car as a result of insufficient respect, a lot of people were fooled with the name on these cars, but make no mistake, this car was fully competent at beating any car on the road throughout the muscle car era, lots of people took these cars lightly, and paid a heavy tariff of their disrespect, there were 678 Buick GSX super cars produced in 1970, there are 187 Apollo white GSX Buick's built, and 491 Saturn yellow ones.

The GSX sported a hood mounted tach; 3.42:1 rear gear ratio; G60-15 "billboard" Wide-Oval tires; a particular front stabilizer bar; along with a rear spoiler, the GSX also came with a 4 speed gear box, along with a Hurst shifter, the cars also stood a special graphics kit installed in the factory, including two racing stripes running over the hood and deck lid of the car, plus a thin stripe running down both sides in the car. The Buick GSX was absolutely nothing to laugh at, this car could generate your home, fully able to providing your with a heart-attack style ride, this car has not been for the weak of heart, it absolutely was not necessarily a grandma car. I have been in the automotive business for around 20 or 25 years or so, I've worked in most areas of the industry, from parts to restoration, various makes and models, I just want to help keep people enthusiastic about the existing cars because it is where my heart is.
